I've driven one. It was nice. Nicer than the standard Type R of that shape.

But not £61,000s worth of car.

The Championship White edition is the one i would go for, decent price now and you get the LSD as standard.

I'm struggling to think what sort of person would buy this car....a 19 year old that has just won the lottery?

Makes Riggers Golf look poverty level cheap.

It was a white one i drove. Something silly like only 4 or 5 of them in the country at the time?

I spanked it. Hard.

really there is only 4 or 5 Mugen FN2's? there is one knocking around near me, see it all the time, did not think they were that rare.

I'd rather one of these, and for less.

[Garlick]

Can I take a used NSX instead?

Stunning, is that available in the UK or JDM Import only???

I would be doing the same, could buy a pre facelift and facelift NSX for 61k.

Maybe they mixed up the price and mileage

[Hoygo]

I'd rather burn all those money than spend it on a Honda. Chris Harris.

22 k would be a good price for it,for what it's worth.

There must be more i'm sure, but at the time, this one was fresh off the boat, had something like 26 miles on it when i drove it, and was one of the first ones in the country seemingly.

TBH though, i think i still prefer the EP3 over it, and an EK9 over that.

oh the EK9 I love this car, not to everyone's taste but they look awesome in Yellow with some nice tasty mods.

If you are spending £60k on a stripped out, track orientated car, my money would be going here:

At £30k the Civic would be too expensive, but double that....!

[Bohally]

Its a civic FFS! 61k could buy some seriously tasty metal, that's where my money would be going.

Only available in Japan, I believe. Riggers drove one, feisty apparently!

[matt3001]

I think even Balotelli has more sense than to buy one of these

EK9's never came in yellow, only white. EK4 Jordans did though.

What are you talking about. EK9's came in Yellow, White, Black and Grey.

[aircooledforever]

I expected it to have 0-20 miles on it. It might make sense then as a possible appreciating rarity to stick in a heated garage as they are enormously rare are they not?
